On the hills of San Gimignano, in the Chianti Colli Senesi area, wine farm with 83.4 ha vineyard and stately villa for sale. The estate consists of several residential buildings (over 4,400 sqm in total), partly to be renovated, which could be used as an accommodation business (about 35 bedrooms). The wine cellar (nearly 1,700 sqm with a vat capacity of 16,000 hl) allows the production of about 5,000 hl of wine per year.
The farm stretches in its entirety for about 312.1 hectares (771.2 acres) in a hilly position. To these are added about 6.1 hectares (15.1 acres) of land (entirely within the municipality of San Gimignano) that are currently leased and on which the farm has planted, at its own expenses, the Vernaccia di San Gimignano and Vermentino Toscana vineyards.
The winemaking activity forms the backbone of the winery:
The olive groves (8.4 ha) are distributed mainly in specialized plantings and rows along the roads. The trees are all in full production and have recently undergone maintenance and pruning. The olives are processed in external mills and the oil obtained (generally between 1,300 and 1,800 kg per year) marketed in bottles.
The plantings of timber arboriculture (6.3 ha) date back to the late 1990s following those guidelines of the time that envisioned the establishment of plantings aimed at the production of valuable timber that also allowed the exploitation of those lands not suitable for vineyards and olive trees. As of today, the period of commitment has ended and such forests could be easily cut for biomass production, a much more profitable use.
Much of the farm is then covered by woodland (202.3 ha) that is cut according to a regulated rotation system. Much of this forest is included in a larger hunting reserve.
San Gimignano is a picturesque town located in the heart of Tuscany. Nestled on a hilltop, it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Known as the Town of Fine Towers, San Gimignano stands out for its medieval skyline adorned with soaring towers, creating a unique and enchanting atmosphere. The town is characterized by its well-preserved historic center, enclosed within ancient walls, which has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The history of San Gimignano traces back to the Etruscan era, but it flourished during the Middle Ages as a prosperous trading center along the Via Francigena. The town gained economic and political power through agriculture and trade, attracting wealthy families who competed in constructing impressive towers. At the height of its power, around the 13th and 14th centuries, San Gimignano boasted around 72 towers.
San Gimignano is renowned for its wine production and is part of the Chianti wine region. The area’s vineyards benefit from a favorable climate and fertile soil, resulting in the cultivation of high-quality grapes. The most prominent grape variety grown here is Vernaccia, which is used to produce the town’s signature white wine, Vernaccia di San Gimignano. This crisp and flavorful wine is known for its pale straw color, delicate floral aromas, and notes of citrus and almond. It pairs well with a variety of dishes, including seafood, poultry, and pasta. In addition to Vernaccia, San Gimignano is also home to red wines, primarily made from Sangiovese, Canaiolo, and Trebbiano grapes.
The estate is very conveniently located, less than a kilometer from a town with all basic services and less than twenty minutes’ drive from the medieval villages of Colle Val d’Elsa, San Gimignano and Volterra. The central location in the heart of Tuscany, an important factor if one were interested in starting a tourist accommodation activity, also allows one to visit the region’s art cities in little more than an hour (Siena, Florence, Pisa, Lucca...).
